For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.68% (median rent $665/wk against a $940,000 price tag). Units yield 7.80% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (12%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +7.1% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
